The append hint works since Oracle 8 if my memory is good. I've used the append hint with tables in nologging mode to load a lot of data very fast.
It works well.
You must do a backup afterwards.

If the hint is not supported, it should be ignored, like when you make a typo in the hint's name.

Hi all,

In a discussion with an Oracle rep last week it was suggested we use the /*+ append */ insert hint to allow some inserts to use direct-path. The suggestion is interesting - the business logic won't have any problems with the limitations this implies.

Has anyone had any experience with this hint? Specifically, does anyone know what would happen on Oracle 7.3.x or 8.0.x if I used this (assuming it's supported ... would it silently ignore the hint if not supported?)

Thanks
Fuzzy
:-)
